Digital Diagnostic Systems Assists Mold Investigators with Real-Time, Internet Diagnostic Tools.Business Editors/Science Writers SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 28, 2004 Digital Diagnostic Systems (DDS (1) (Digital Data Storage) See DAT. (2) (Data Dictionary System) See QuickBuild and OpenDDS. (3) (Dataphone Digital S ) has developed a computer-based digital imaging system that has taken mold testing, identification and quantification into the 21st century with real-time Internet diagnostic capabilities. The Digital DIS-10 System allows mold investigators to transmit photomicrographs of mold samples, taken in the field, directly to a laboratory for analysis by microbiologists or mycologists This is a list of mycologists, or scientists with a specialisation in mycology, with their author abbreviations.
Toxic mold is the buzz word associated with high profile mold litigation. Consumer awareness of mold and its potential health effects has increased through lawsuits involving media heavyweights such as Erin Brokovich, Ed McMahon and Michael Jordan. Now toxic mold investigations have gone high-tech with technology designed to harness the power of the Internet as it was originally designed to be used -- for the rapid real-time disbursement of information without geographic restrictions. Mold testing is used for real property transfers, remediation validation and clearance, mold site analytical documentation, and to assist physicians attempting to isolate a harmful organism. Most laboratories destroy samples after generating analytical data and results. In contrast, the mold photomicrographs taken by the Digital DIS-10 System become easily retrievable, permanent, legally defensible, visual evidence supportive of expert testimony. "Currently we have systems nationwide with expansions planned internationally," said Steve Furnas, President of Digital Diagnostic Systems. "Joining our efforts is Dr. Malcolm Richardson, internationally renowned medical mycologist mycologist a specialist in mycology. , as our principal advisor." Malcolm Richardson B. Sc.
